#Afcon2023 Match Review: Morocco 🇲🇦 vs South Africa 🇿🇦- well done Bafana Bafana qualifying for the quarter finals! A massive win for South Africa! The clash between Morocco and South Africa proved to be a tale of resilience and decisive moments, culminating in South Africa's impressive 2-0 victory and their advancement to the Quarter-finals. The first half showcased Morocco's aggressive push for the opening goal, with Youssef En-Nesyri denied by a crucial save in the 9th minute, which was later deemed offside. South Africa, adopting a more defensive stance, had their chances, notably in the 18th minute when Mothobi Mvala's attempt from a corner narrowly missed the mark. Morocco seemed to break through in the 32nd minute with Noussair Mazraoui's low shot, but the goal was disallowed due to an offside decision, maintaining the deadlock. Both teams had additional opportunities, but the first half concluded with a 0-0 score, setting the stage for an intriguing second half. The second half brought a series of pivotal moments, starting with Azzedine Ounahi's missed opportunity for Morocco in the 47th minute. However, South Africa seized control in the 56th minute when Evidence Makgopa found the back of the net, giving them a crucial 1-0 lead. Despite Morocco's persistent efforts, South Africa's defence held firm, with goalkeeper Ronwen Williams making crucial saves to maintain their advantage. In the 82nd minute, Morocco had a lifeline as Mothobi Mvala conceded a penalty, but Achraf Hakimi's spot-kick struck the crossbar, keeping South Africa in the lead. Morocco's hopes further diminished in the 94th minute when Sofyan Amrabat received a red card, leaving them with ten players on the field. South Africa capitalized on the chance, sealing the victory in the 95th minute with Teboho Mokoena's stunning free-kick, extending the lead to 2-0. With this impressive win, South Africa secures a spot in the Quarter-finals, leaving a lasting impact on the tournament.

#Qatar will soon join the #yachting #race in the #GulfRegion ! I just concluded a 3-day "exploration" trip to the country that I used to frequent three times yearly back in the days. Up until 2016, it was showing steady progress in waterfront projects and real-estate developments completing #ThePearlQatar and #LusailCity. In 2024, and after meeting with Royal families, #Government officials, and industry businessmen, Qatar is staging an unseen and incredible #infrastructure and facility with investment exceeding USD $1.2 billion (with a B)! When I was invited to visit the areas in question, I thought I'll be seeing another sales office with creatives and visual effects, but no..it was actually already done! I was seeing the real deal! Though a lot of it is still under tight wraps, they plan to roll-out the news #verysoon ! I must say that not every one in Qatar seems to be on the same page with the economical climate in the country. I believe that is due to the massive hype and excitement the 2022 FIFA World Cup has created and the void it has left after it was over, which I think is a natural progression that it will adjust and renovate with time. An understanding of your business by solidifying relationships and building new bridges are key to one's success. This trip was to lay the grounds for future industry projects and to grow the yachting agenda in the region. #MovingForward #ShiftingGears #Doha

🚆Morocco to build a high-speed train to Fez for ⚽2030 FIFA World Cup- Morocco is pushing ahead with the development of high-speed rail. The country plans to launch a tender to study the project of a high-speed rail link between Fez and Rabat, with a stop in Meknes. Meknes is one of the cities that will be used for team training and accommodation during the 2030 FIFA World Cup. With this project, Morocco aims to progressively develop modern and high-quality transport facilities that meet FIFA standards for the transport of supporters and delegations. Between Fez and Rabat via Meknes, travel time will be reduced from three and a half hours to one hour and 40 minutes. The plan involves upgrading the existing line and building a new high-speed railway, including several bridges in the province of Khemisset. This new high-speed line and other railway infrastructure projects under construction will not only facilitate the mobility of Moroccans and visitors during the 2030 World Cup but also strengthen Morocco's global competitiveness. The country aims to become one of the world's leaders in HSL, alongside major nations such as China, France, Spain, and Germany. According to official statements quoted in various news reports, the ambitious vision and strategy would see the construction of 1,300 kilometres of railways linking 43 cities. 🌟 Want to be Kept in the Loop?
